Creating the Business Process Client Connectivity Map

Connectivity between the master index application and Business Processes is defined in the Connectivity Map of the Business Process client project. This topic describes how to create and configure the Business Process client Connectivity Map. You can optionally include a JMS Topic (for information and instructions, see Adding the JMS Topic to the Collaboration Client Connectivity Map). You only need to incorporate the topic if you added a JMS Topic to the server project and if you want to publish master index application messages to external systems.

The master index application icon in this Connectivity Map comes from the External Applications menu on the Connectivity Map Editor toolbar. Make sure the master index project has been built before creating the client Connectivity Map. Instructions for creating the Environment are under Building an Environment. Instructions for building and deploying the master index server project are under Deploying Master Indexes (Repository) .
